计算机介导的色情短信行为、有问题的饮酒和性勾搭在大学生群体中很普遍。虽然色情短信与酒精、色情短信与性之间的关系已经确定，但色情短信作为饮酒与勾搭之间中介的潜在作用尚不清楚。该研究首次对因果时间模型进行了测试，其中（1）色情短信介导了有问题的饮酒与性勾搭之间的关系；结果：在大学样本中（N = 611；M(SD)年龄 = 21.4 (4.18)；77.3% 女性），使用结构方程模型的因果路径模型表明：(1) 有问题的饮酒 (b = .05，p < .001) 和色情短信 (b = .14，p < .05) 与性勾搭有关； (2) 感觉寻求和消极紧迫感与酗酒问题 (b = .96, p < .001, b = .60, p < .05) 和色情短信 (b = .11, p < .05, b = .12, p < .001) 相关； (3) 有问题的饮酒与通过色情短信进行勾搭间接相关 (b = .01, p < .01)。结论：研究结果初步支持色情短信作为有问题的饮酒和性勾搭之间的部分中介因素，以及冲动相关特征和酒精预期作为这一过程中的远端预测因素的作用。调查结果强调，色情短信是计算机介导和人类互动之间交叉的一个例子。 (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Computer-mediated sexting behaviors, problematic alcohol use, and sexual hookups are prevalent among college populations. While relationships between sexting and alcohol, and sexting and sex have been established, the potential role of sexting as a mediator between alcohol use and hookups is unknown. The study provides the first test of a causal, temporal model in which (1) sexting mediates the relationship between problematic alcohol use and sexual hookups; and (2) impulsivity-related traits and alcohol-related expectancies predict problematic alcohol use and sexting.Results: In a college sample, (N = 611; M(SD)age = 21.4 (4.18); 77.3% female), a causal path model using structural equation modeling indicated that: (1) Problematic alcohol use (b = .05, p < .001) and sexting (b = .14, p < .05) were related to sexual hookups; (2) sensation seeking and negative urgency were related to problematic alcohol use (b = .96, p < .001, b = .60, p < .05) and sexting (b = .11, p < .05, b = .12, p < .001); and (3) problematic alcohol use was indirectly related to hookups through sexting (b = .01, p < .01).Conclusion: Findings provide initial support for sexting as a partial mediator between problematic alcohol use and sexual hookups, and for the role of impulsivity-related traits and alcohol expectancies as distal predictors in this process. Findings highlight sexting as one example of the intersection between computer-mediated and human interaction. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
